I've just successfully compiled and installed v3.4 from sources. Everything is fine EXCEPT when I start it up any "character" is replaced by an empty square. (the bottom of the logo, the titles, icons, menu(s), EVERYTHING). In short, besides the graphics I cannot "see" anything other than variable size squares (based on the underlining font, I assume). Applications (Mozilla, etc.) work OK, text and all, except, of course, for their title (now in squares). When I switch back to v3.3.1 (by just readjusting the symlink "kde" in '/usr/local' to kde-3.3.1 directory) everything reverts to the (perfect) normal. 3.3.1 was compiled with qt-3.3.3 (both from sources). 3.4 is compiled with qt-3.3.4 (both qt's work as advertised). i686-linux-pc-gnu, XFree86-4.4, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.3 arts-1.4.0, libs-3.4.0, base-3.4.0, graphics-3.4.0 Please help, Thanks, Alex ___________________________________________________ .
